Milwaukee Brewers Stats Of The Month

Carlos Gomez has been on fire to start the season. Mandatory Credit: Benny Sieu-USA TODAY SportsThe first month of the season is somehow already behind us. After an abysmal start in which the Milwaukee Brewers went 2-8, they turned it around thanks to Jean Segura and Yuniesky Betancourt. The Brewers finished April with a 14-11 record, going 11-3 over their final 14 games.

Overall, it was a successful month. From Carlos Gomez showing why he deserves that multi-year extension he received to Brewers fans thanking the Los Angeles Angeles of Anaheim for giving them Jean Segura, April was a good month (except for Rickie Weeks and John Axford).
